  I didn't want to put this in the jokes section, partly because I don't go there anymore and partly because it isn't really a joke.
  
  This was sent to me yesterday - I guess what the person is asking is should we pay our taxes so people can sit at home all day drinking and taking drugs and if there was a way of filtering those out, the Government (and us) would save loads of money.
  
  You will read that we aren't talking about those who need any kind of benefit, they should still be helped - what are your thoughts ?
  
  Here it is:
  
  
  "I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
  In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor. I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs and alcohol, with which I have no problem.
  
  What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
  
  Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
  
  Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope.
  
  Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?"
  
  Does that make sense ?
